Composing music with composed functions
summary
Functional code turns short strings like "C4@8N" into scheduled note objects and a playable sequence using Ramda and Tone.js. The demo shows pure functions for parsing name octave and duration, map filter and reduce to compute a note's start time, composition and partial application to build detune and transpose pipelines, and a runnable player via the Web Audio API; examples sound live though one timing display briefly reports 1.625 due to an on-screen update issue with the parse shorthand pipeline.
